2019 WWE Hall Of Fame (with D-Generation X) inductee Sean “X-Pac” Waltman recently took to his podcast, “X-Pac 12360,” to discuss several professional wrestling topics. Waltman offered his thoughts on WrestleMania 35 holding the first-ever women’s main event at this year’s show, Cody Rhodes saying All Elite Wrestling (AEW) won’t run during WrestleMania weekend, and more.
Check out the highlights below:
WrestleMania 35 featuring the first-ever women’s main event for a WrestleMania:
The Monday after Mania when I was sitting there next to Ronda and telling her you’re gonna be main-eventing Wrestlemania next year. Ta-da! People like myself and just other like-minded thinkers; you throw that out there into the Universe and it’s funny how things happen. It’s the right time. I really like what Ronda is doing as a villain right now. A lot of the best villains are the ones that think they are right.
That think they are the good guy… There are people that are criticizing all of this, I couldn’t disagree with you more. I think it’s all playing out rather nicely and I just think some people don’t like being worked. They don’t like being caught up in it. I just think it’s great. It was Charlotte and Ronda, that was the match. And Becky Lynch just came in and said ‘fuck all that, I am here too.’ And she did a great job. She wasn’t the chosen one and it didn’t matter. And at least this time they are listening to the people.
Cody saying AEW won’t run during WrestleMania weekend:
If you’re running a show that weekend then you are piggybacking off of WWE. And I don’t think they are {AEW} trying to be in the market of piggybacking off of anyone. It’s a strong statement and it’s the right thing to do. You solidify your own identity and your own space. You’re own footprint in the wrestling space.
The Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart) being inducted into the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame:
Danny Davis deserves to be in the conversation. He does, there’s a lot of reasons for that, I am not gonna get into it. It’s nice to see Jim being inducted. I’ve always been a big fan of Jim Neidhart. The character of Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart added so much. He was solid in the ring too, really good. His role in the Hart Foundation he was great. He was a really good solid power guy that could move in there too. Just him and Bret, they were such a great team.
All the little detail stuff in tag team wrestling that is lost sometimes…The Hart Foundation versus The Brain Busters, if you can find that match it is fantastic. I think it may have been a Saturday Night’s Main Event. And obviously their matches with The {British} Bulldogs…Those matches were so ahead of their time, you see a whole WWF card back then, The {British} Bulldogs vs Hart Foundation was so out of place. They were out there just going to town. So congratulations to the Hart Foundation!
